Imaging apparatus

Abstract

An imaging apparatus having high resolution and high optical performance and reduced in size is provided. A camera module 10, which is an imaging apparatus incorporated in an optical apparatus, such as a camera 60, includes an optical system UL, which forms an image of an object, the optical system UL including a primary reflection mirror 12, which is a first reflector that reflects light incident thereon by a predetermined number of times, and a secondary reflection mirror 13, which is a second reflector that reflects the light reflected off the first reflector by the predetermined number of times, an image sensor 14, which is shifted toward the image side from the optical system UL and captures an image of an object formed by the optical system UL, and a prevention unit 19, which prevents light reflected off the first reflector and the second reflector by a number of times other than the predetermined number of times from entering the image sensor.
